Some time ago, I learned (either here or on Fox news) the reason hummers and trucks weren't armored, and definitely not armored for front line use. They were not intended for front line use!!!
Trucks and hummers are support vehicles. yes a hummer can be uparmored with a turtle back, and mount a .50-cal ring on top, but that is intended for a recon/scout role where speed and a low profile is requred. The rolling stock that is getting hammered by IEDs and RPGs are intended for rear area support functions. The tanks and maybe the Bradly fighting vehicles are front line combat vehicles.
I remember seeing heavy armored hummers at military trade shows years ago. They were "nice to haves," expensive, contract offerings, and likely too expensive for a peacetime military budget.
Be patient, times change and with it minds. It will get sorted out.

I remember the Bradley from the movie "The Pentagon Wars". You're not the actor Kelsey Grammar in real life, are you?
